Elise Eastman, age 74, passed away peacefully on Oct. 29 at Sunrise Senior Living Community in Leawood, Kansas.
Elise was born on Feb. 14, 1951, in Cairo, Egypt, the cherished daughter of Esther and Ness Pessah. She emigrated with her parents to the United States in 1960, following a short stay in Paris, France. The family settled in Syracuse, New York, where Elise attended Nottingham High School and later Onondaga Community College.
After moving to Mission, Kansas, Elise married the late Maurice Eastman. Together, they raised three sons, Abe, Jacob and Isaac.
Elise had a deep love of music and pursued her dream of working in radio broadcasting, spending time on air at local radio stations. She also enjoyed her years working in retail, where she was quick to share her warm smile. Faith was an essential part of Elise’s life. She found joy and friendship in Bible studies with neighbors and friends.
Elise is survived by her three children and her brother, Isaac Pessah. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered with love.
Graveside services were held on Oct. 3 at Kehilath Israel Blue Ridge Cemetery.
